John Du Cann
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Du Cann was a guitarist primarily known through his work in the 70's band Atomic Rooster. His first bands included the Wiltshire-based 'The Sonics' and London-based 'The Attack,' which released "Hi Ho Silver Lining" a few days prior to Jeff Beck. He went on to lead a psychedelic, progressive, hard rock band called Andromeda, before being asked to join Atomic Rooster. Upon departure from that group, he led Hard Stuff, which was based more heavily on aggressive guitar work. In 1974 he was a temporary guitarist in Thin Lizzy for a tour of Germany. In 1979 he had a hit on the UK Singles Chart with "Don't Be A Dummy", a former Gary Numan song from a Lee Cooper Jeans television advert from 1978. The single reached number 33.
